Regarding Since at the Event Horizon, time stops completely: This is an incorrect but very common popular science portrayal. Suppose you have a spacecraft that takes you to the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy, and you decide to commit suicide by diving straight into it. Time will not stop for you. You will enter the black hole's event horizon in a finite amount of time as measured by you and shortly later you will die (possibly painfully) by spaghettification. OTOH, an external observer will see your spacecraft appear to grind to a halt at the event horizon.
